Attachable pivotal visor

Abstract

A visor apparatus for attachment to a pair of eyeglasses; the apparatus has two main parts, including a clip means which attaches to a pair of eyeglasses and a visor portion which is pivotally attached to the clip means. Preferably the visor portion and the clip means are manufactured from light weight and durable plastic. When the visor apparatus is attached to a pair of eyeglasses the visor portion may be locked into a functional position or a position which is substantially perpendicular to the wearer's forehead and an inoperative position or a position which is substantially parallel to the wearer's forehead.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A visor apparatus, comprising: a non-transparent visor portion attached to a clip means such that the visor portion can be selectively moved in an operative position substantially perpendicular to a wearer's forehead and an inoperative position substantially parallel to the wearer's forehead, the visor portion being of a rectangular dimension which extends past the width of a pair of eyeglasses and which extends forward in the operative position at a length greater than the height of the eyeglasses and being large enough in shape such that, when the visor is in the operative position, the wearer's face is entirely shaded;   a clip means adapted to be attachable to a pair of eyeglasses, said clip means including at least two pairs of elongated members that extend over the glasses portion of a pair of eyeglasses and thereby mounting on the pair of eyeglasses; a central pivotal portion integrally attached to the pairs of elongated members; attaching means to attach said central pivotal portion with said visor portion; and a hinge that attaches said central pivotal portion to said attaching means, said hinge including a locking means for positioning said visor portion in the operative and inoperative positions.   
     
     
       2. A visor apparatus, comprising: a non-transparent visor portion attached to a clip means such that the visor portion can be selectively moved in an operative position substantially perpendicular to a wearer's forehead and an inoperative position substantially parallel to the wearer's forehead, the visor portion being of a semicircular dimension which extends past the width of a pair of eyeglasses and which extends forward in the operative position at a length greater than the height of the eyeglasses and being large enough in shape such that when the visor is in the operative position, the wearer's face is entirely shaded;   a clip means adapted to be attachable to a pair of eyeglasses, said clip means including at least two pairs of elongated members that extend over the glasses portion of a pair of eyeglasses and thereby mounting on the pair of eyeglasses; a central pivotal portion integrally attached to the pairs of elongated members; attaching means to attach said central pivotal portion with said visor portion; and a hinge that attaches said central pivotal portion to said attaching means, said hinge including a locking means for positioning said visor portion in the operative and inoperative positions.   
     
     
       3. A visor apparatus, comprising: a non-transparent visor portion attached to a clip means such that the visor portion can be selectively moved in an operative position substantially perpendicular to a wearer's forehead and an inoperative position can be substantially parallel to the wearer's forehead, the visor portion being of a extends forward in the operative position at a length greater than the height of the eyeglasses and being large enough in shape such that when the visor is in the operative position, the wearer's face is entirely shaded including the eyes, nose, cheeks, temples, and chin;   a clip means adapted to be attachable to a pair of eyeglasses, said clip means including at least two pairs of elongated members that extend over the glasses portion of a pair of eyeglasses and thereby mounting on the pair of eyeglasses; a central pivotal portion integrally attached to the pairs of elongated members; attaching means to attach said central pivotal portion with said visor portion; and a hinge that attaches said central pivotal portion to said attaching means, said hinge including a locking means for positioning said visor portion in the operative and inoperative positions.
